95) SUPPORTING STATEMENT OF VIRGINIA ADAMS.

Virginia Adams, deceased, wife of Ansel Adams, is the daughter of Harry Best, who began Best's Studio (now Ansel Adams Gallery) in Yosemite Valley. Harry Best was a landscape painter and many of his works are in the Yosemite Museum collections. Virginia operated the Studio/Gallery for many years and was also a long-time board member of the Yosemite Natural History Association (now Yosemite Association).

According to her Virginia's son, Dr. Michael Adams, writing on August 29, 2007,

"I am sure that my father and mother, Ansel and Virginia Adams, who were also friends [of Dr. Sharsmith] for many more years than I, would support the naming of a peak for Carl."
